Christie and Wesley Werts’ love story is one for the ages. The couple, who tied the knot five years ago, created a beautiful blended family with Christie’s daughter, Megan, and Wesley’s children, Austin and Dakota. However, their family’s journey took an unexpected turn when they decided to adopt a baby boy named Levi.
Levi’s biological mother, Wesley’s former partner, struggled with addiction and passed away four days after giving birth to Levi in August 2021. The Werts family learned about Levi’s existence through Wesley’s ex-wife’s sister, and Christie, who had experienced foster care herself, was determined to provide Levi with a loving and stable home.
In a remarkable twist, Christie had recurring dreams about a blue-eyed, blond baby boy for three months before learning about Levi. When she finally met Levi through Child Protection Services, she knew that he was meant to be her son.

The adoption process was not without its challenges. The Werts family had to relocate from Ohio to Texas, endure a lengthy legal process, and overcome obstacles to finalize the adoption. After 16 months, Levi was officially part of the Werts family.
However, Christie faced criticism from some online users who questioned her decision to share their adoption story on social media. Some expressed concern that Levi might feel embarrassed or depressed about his adoption story when he grows up.
Despite the criticism, the Werts family’s love and commitment to each other are undeniable. Their story serves as a testament to the power of unconditional love and the importance of providing a stable and loving home for children in need.
